What is Kybella ATX-101?
Kybella ATX-101 injection is the first and only FDA-approved prescription nonsurgical treatment that is used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin also called, “double chin.” It is not known if Kybella ATX-101 is safe and effective in children less than 18 years of age. It is not in recognition if Kybella ATX-101 is safe and effective for use outside of the submental area.
How does Kybella ATX-101 work?
The active ingredient in KYBELLA™ is deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath your chin, KYBELLA™ causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.
Will I experience any side effects?
The safety profile of Kybella ATX-101 has good characteristics. The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness around the treatment area. KYBELLA™ can cause serious side effects, including trouble swallowing and nerve injury in the jaw that can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness. These are not all of the possible side effects of KYBELLA™. Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects.
How many treatments will I need?
You and your registered nurse will customize your KYBELLA™ treatment regimen, including how many treatments you need, based on your desired chin profile. Your doctor will give you a series of injections at each treatment session, which are spaced a month or more apart. Many patients experience visible contouring of their chin profile in two to four treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart. Up to 6 treatments may be in administering.
How long will the results last?
When injected into the fat under your chin, Kybella ATX-101 causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After the aesthetic response achievement, retreatment with KYBELLA™ is not expecting.
